Shannon and Keith are some of my favorite clients to see! Their wedding is one that I will always remember, not only because it poured the entire day, but because I was in New York City. When they moved to Minneapolis for Keith to attend school and had their first child, I was thrilled to photograph her. This fall their little girl, Brooklyn, turned one, I was so to see them again and see how she had changed. What a great fall day we had for our shoot and she was a gem throughout the entire time!
Thank you for always capturing us so well! 🙂 We loved our day with you this fall and enjoy catching up with you each time.
Karen! Very nice pics of some favorite people of mine! YAY, YOU! Thanks for posting these; I hadn’t seen them before.
Think of you often!
Memories of Shannon and Keith’s wedding will never be forgotten…how about having to sleep on the floor of the recreation room of the retirement “resort”!!! The venue of the reception was spectacular! I didn’t know of the “storm” outdoors until we were leaving that night or that the power in the reception had gone out and we were on emergency light! Ha! I thought it was “mood” lighting! That caterer who was assigned to me for the duration did well to keep the wine flowing! HA!
Pete! What a night that was! Such a fun one to remember!! the accomidations were just about the best part!! we were in great company! Wish you all were closer, your entire family brings me so much joy!! Hope you get in some time with those sweet grand babies!!
Clint and Amanda are extraordinary people. Really truly amazing people. They are the kind of people you want in your life, you know, those that can encourage you in rough times, know what true sadness is, and what pure joyful laughter from the gut does to a soul.
And so are their kids.
I LOVE photographing their family and watching them grow. From our last session in the spring, and even from a year ago, I was amazed to see how their kids have matured. In August, their family celebrated a year of being together, through the ups and downs of adoption, joys and struggles, this family is unified. As we stood under the outside sign of the Walker, Amanda commented ” bits and pieces put together to make a semblance of a whole….that is our family.” I am privileged to call Amanda a true friend, and I love her to pieces.

Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
